A group of British politicians were shot at by Israeli soldiers during a UN-supervised trip, a peer has claimed.
The cross-party group was on a visit to Rafah in Gaza, where UK student Tom Hurndall was killed, when they allegedly came under fire.
Liberal Democrat peer Baroness Northover said machine gun fire from an Israeli observation post passed closely over their heads.
The group also included MPs Huw Irranca-Davies and Crispin Blunt.
One wonders what treatment ordinary Palestinians are given
Baroness Northover
They are said to be demanding an explanation from the Israeli ambassador to Britain.
The group claims that following the gun fire they pulled back to their vehicle, which was marked with the UN logo, when further shots where fired at the building next to the car.
Baroness Northover said: "This incident has shown me first-hand the indiscriminate violence faced by Palestinians on a daily basis.
"If the Israeli Defence Force is prepared to shoot at a delegation of parliamentarians under the supervision of the UN, one wonders what treatment ordinary Palestinians are given," she said.
She said the action may have been an attempt to stop the group seeing the effect of Israel's policy of demolishing Palestinian housing in Gaza.
Tom Hurndall, 22, from Tufnell Park, north London, was shot in April last year while trying to help Palestinian children to safety in Rafah.
An Israeli soldier is being tried for the killing.

Don Rizzle:
Baroness Northover was just on the telly she was saying there were children around to see what was going on with UN ppl no other adults around. they believe it was warning shots so they wouldn't see what israel had done/doing. ISrael then denied knowledge of shots fired and that the UN were even there even tho there had been extensive dialogue in before entering Gazaa they were even held up for 3 hours b4 they cud enter.
